How Would You Do Superiority Adaptation As a Movie

[Spacescifi]

Arthur C. Clarke's short story (little over a page long) I found both entertaining and funny.

How would you could make a good movie adaptation?

 

How would movie be if one of these did it?

Zack Snyder?

Michael Bay (cringe)?

James Cameron?

Steven Spielburg?

Quebtin Tarantino?

 

If I did it, I would play it kind of like a tragi-comedy.

Tragedy being all the mistakes that lead to a final orbital last stand above the homeworld with music similar to this playing.

 

Comedy being characters thrown in to give the destined-to-lose general company, not unlike the lower decks well received TNG episode.

And the main character general would be this guy... only with MAXIMUM HAM!

Look up tv tropes if you don't know what 'ham' is.

Reminds me of "Brazil" by Terry Gilliam - a dark, dystopic, high-technology future where the main enemy is...poor adminsitration.
